Having the games made with Unity opened up such untapped potential. Conversely RPGMaker will release their Unity plugin sometime this year still, which means we may come to see fan games that look as good as this pretty soon, the fact that the assets can easily be copied into a standalone project with no relation will also greatly speed up the production process of these fan games. Pokemon Essentials marked a golden era for fan games, with GF even taking many ideas that originated in those to later incorporate in their official releases, but the modding/fan game maker community will be really foolish if they do not pick up on that potential. Heck, even without an RPGMaker plugin, Unity already makes so much greater things possible, but since people have mostly stuck with RPGMaker this plugin is a blessing that will hopefully bridge the gap.

@@PurpleThunderNE Gen 4 was always cool. It’s the best Pokémon Gen for a reason. (Both Plat and HGSS were the zenith of Pokémon quality.) Unfortunately, the complete reset (too many changes) in Gen 5’s first games and the subsequent laziness of X and Y kind of ruined Pokémon forever, it seems. Though games like Legends Arceus and the upcoming Scarlet/Violet mess make Gen 5 and X/Y look like solid gold, lol. And yes, Gen 5 is absolutely the root of the problem. Even if some people like those games for whatever reason, the complete reset made me basically quit Pokémon altogether for a while (didn’t come back until USUM) since it turned utterly unrecognisable, and the bad reaction it got from pretty much everyone at the time made GF afraid to make ANY changes. I think it would have been a LOT better had they originally released Gen 5 not as a reset but as basically BW2, where you could see the new stuff but also have the old. Making a complete reset like BW where NOTHING is the same and may as well be a completely different thing altogether/making a lazy “remake” like BDSP where EVERYTHING is the same and all they did design-wise was make Dawn and Lucas white/brown/black (which literally no one cares or even asked for), are both really bad extremes. I think HGSS/ORAS have been the best remakes thus far, tbh, because they made enough changes to make them interesting but didn’t change literally everything like with Legends Arseus (which, where on Earth is “Hisui” ever mentioned in D/P/Pl? Nowhere. The idea of having a Pokémon game set in the past is cool and all, but they should have made that be Scarlet/Violet instead of Sinnoh, since they just basically retconned the whole canon of D/P/Pl’s Canalave Library, which had books going back to basically the beginning of the SINNOH region - no fucking “Hisui.”) Literally the only problem with ORAS was the exclusion of the Battle Frontier, and stuff being a bit too easy (Steven giving you a LATIOS/LATIAS like at the beginning of the game LMAOOO. But they expanded on character lore with pretty much every character, and new characters like Lisia were super cool additions. I wish this is what we would’ve gotten in BDSP, but instead all we get is just being able to make Dawn and Lucas brown/black/blonde, which literally no one with a brain asked for/adds zero relevance/substance to the game or lore. Wow….) I also wish they’d have improved Sword and Shield with a definitive “third” version instead of basically memory-holing Gen 8 and making an even worse-looking version in Scarlet/Violet. I will say at least Gen 8 had amazing character designs. Gen 9 just looks like they got a bunch of Tumblrinas to design the characters/it seems we’re going back to the Kalos cringe of having a “group” of very dull-looking rivals, smh.

I may disagree with this being the worst Pokemon game (since at least this game doesn't run like f**king molasses unlike the DS originals lol, we have been spoiled immensely by emulation), but the mods are insane, especially at the pace at which they're able to do it. I think the one with the most potential is with the overworld, the fact that it's possible to replace the chibi models with the in-battle models is a start, but if it's possible to modify the map and expand the scope akin to the size of SW/SH's routes, I think we'll have a masterpiece on our hands.

People like this guy and the guy who made the video, who bash these games for hypocritical reasons will always exist unfortunately.

Pokemon mods make the games better now all we need are redesign Mods for the Charaters in BDSP please give Cynthia a good design she's a good champion and waifu!

[@cyberiav89]

The sheer delight I had seeing Looker was unexplainable. Looker not being in the original game was frankly depressing.

[@yisuno]

Woah the people behind that project are so cool

[@PurpleThunderNE]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO YOUR WORK IS SO FIRE HOMIE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY EVERYTHING 🙇

[@AuraTale]

Hey. How come within 9 months, a dozen or so fans were able to make Pokémon BDSP look, feel, and play better than ILCA's base game? Like... why couldn't ILCA pull a Sonic (the movie) on these games with the 9 months they had between the announcement and the release and have something like this? It's just so baffling.

[@jab9799]

The thing is ilca helps with resources on a project like helping with bulding s and scenery,but they were tasked to make a full fledged pokemon game and as female at thst. Fudge are probably rushed to help and back to make the g and and it's a shame what we got

[@bogdweller27]

Probably because gamefreak handed a classic title off to some random developers who aren't associated with pokemon, and know little to nothing about it. So why would these random developers get creative freedom in developing a pokemon remake? Use your fucking brain, dude. It's clear that gamefreak instructed ILCA to make a faithful remake with few changes and the chibi style was closer to the originals. You people will act like legends arceus is a good game because it has no chibis even though the game is so low effort that its insulting. The flaming bag of dogshit that is legends arceus is the reason we got chibi BDSP and you people still praise it. Blame gamefreak.

[@RukiStudios]

The game was made with Unity which is one of the most documented and used game engines nowadays, unlike all other games in the franchise which are made mostly in C, so modding them is extremely easy.

[@zeraaa]

@@RukiStudios the game being made with unity is a factor, sure, but as someone who's been following the game's modding journey so far, it hasn't been "easy". This has been made possible through tools created by team luminescent, with exception for UABEA by nes. Saying it's simple because it's unity kinda devalues their work a lot, not gonna lie.

[@kevinr.9733]

There's something very amusing (and slightly unsettling) about seeing a dechibified Dawn next to all of the still-chibi NPC models. Imagine being the only regularly-proportioned human in a world of people with stubby limbs and massive heads.

[@markuswithak5084]

man,getting rid off the chibis is the only thing I REALLY wanted. This makes this somewhat playable for me soon

[@sylvyboi]

@@markuswithak5084 wouldn't even call it a personal preference, these are just plain bad chibis

[@tammid8423]

@bruh moment At least there it could be excused because of the small sprites... Here it's pretty much just nostalgia bait

[@markkart]

@bruh moment ​ the small sprite for gameboy to ds era i think they used it because that is all the consoles could handle. This game is just an obvious cash grab and it really shows. I would not say the small chibi models ruin the game but it feels unnecessary when they have shown with swsh that they dont need to use them anymore. literally a nostalgia bait cash grab

[@sylvyboi]

@@markkart honestly? they kinda ruin the tension of the storyline for me. sinnoh has a much more serious tone to it, and the derpy looking chibis just don't fit in the slightest (looking at you Cyrus)

[@TheWolverineReviwer]

As someone who did genuinely enjoy BDSP, it's honestly mindblowing to see what they could have been. I was looking forward to Sinnoh remakes for as long as everyone else, so it was a bit of a disappointment to have it fall solidly in the lower mid-tier range, especially because the only reason it scored as high as it did was simple love for Sinnoh. Seeing people take this game and put so much love and effort into making it the game it should have been absolutely fills my heart with joy. Also, everything looks sick as hell, and I can't even BEGIN to fathom how they did it.

[@v-Lex-v]

Im beyond speechless, this is absolutely amazing

[@SpectreBagels]

This just makes me even more sad that they just........didn't do some of the bare minimum for the remake, and got rid of things instead for no clear reason

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

This mod is awesome. I'm glad people mod games, since the Pokemon company usually can't, mainly due to a market pipeline that causes Game Freak to work hard, while most of the money is the TCG and plushies... This is why modders and rom hackers exist. To have fun while designing an altered take of the base game.

[@RGC_animation]

Just goes to show that the Pokemon community doesn't want some shiny extravagant new gimmick, we just want the game to be _slightly_ more polished.

[@itskee7659]

Man, it really is upsetting when you see that this is what the gen 4 remakes COULD have looked like. The highest grossing video game franchise in history and they couldn't manage anything other than a fresh coat of paint.

[@anubisplays6093]

they literally told us it was a one to one remake so why expect anything more

[@anubisplays6093]

I do wish they had done more but they told us they were not out the gate before they released the game

I love how them releasing this game in the state it was created the framework and drive for crap like this to happen. People are making ROM hacks of their game within like the first year. And the level and scale is unbelievable we couldn't do this back on the DS within a year. We're still very limited in sword and shield though.

Extremely excited for the future of BDSP modding. Hopefully with enough time people will only make romhacks of BDSP and abandon the dated romhack scene of FRLG. All of this is possible because BDSP uses the Unity game engine.

[@iantaakalla8180]

It does. It’s why the modders could pounce on the chance to make this the actual remake of Sinnoh everyone wanted.

[@UltimateDragonKiller]

after seeing the clone pokemon sprites, i now just want somemone to mod in a event where mewtwo host a tournament and you have to fight all the original clone pokemon and maybe a few new clone pokemon before getting to fight him

[@FrostDzNz]

Im mind blown at the amount of excuses constantly given for pokemon games. Modders fit in so much in so little time, with limited resources, and for free in comparison to a studio that had years to create mediocre copy paste content. Sad, but it is what it is.

[@LeftFruitDeadBasket1]

There should also be a chibi version for each poke if you still want to use the chibi design of the characters. Or something. Idunno. Otherwise, all these mods are fantastic! I can't wait to see things improve for the game we all know and loved back in it's hayday!

[@icebrorottenmushroom1817]

I would be so sick to see a very unique Battle Frontier to be added to the game it still makes me mad that they didnt add it to the game

Amazing when modders do more work in a shorter time than the company who sold the game did in years.

[@hikawagetsbitches]

just the fact that skilled pokemon fans are just creating the best content, like these mods and fangames like Reborn, is just both so mindblowingly amazing for them, but also a very upsetting look for GF. also the nocturne song was a whole blessing to hear lol

[@kurtisharen]

Really looking forward to this one. I've been playing all of the Pokemon games since Gen 1, and using PKHex to transfer my collection between games as I go. I'm currently at the endgame of Sacred Gold (I've been using mods that make all of the Pokemon available, because screw trade requirements when playing single-player), and the endgame drags on A LOT, with the requirement for Arceus being to catch literally every other Pokemon. I'm kind of burnt out on it at this point because I already played Gold back when I did Gen 2, and am ready to move on to Blaze Black/Volt White. Having mods like these ready for BD/SP will be nice since it means I can take it slightly easier on the games leading up to that point. I am trying to de-level my collection back down to base forms and lowest-possible legal level, because a lot of Pokemon got major stat changes and improvements and my older ones are pretty useless. (Plus, I'd like to see the animations now that I'm going into Black/White, and the models when I get to X/Y) It would be nice if somebody already had the PK3 and PK4 files for that available online, so I'd just have to change Trainer names to the ones I used, but the only ones you ever see are max-level Smogon-ready collections.

[@Schluis02]

I was expecting a cool game with some new features but what I saw blew my mind, that's so impressive how some hardcore Pokemon fans can create literally one of the most awesome Pokemon Games ever made (Nr. 1 is still Gen 5 sequels). Gamefreak frickin hire those guys and never let them go!

There's only one thing about the modding community that worries me. That Game Freak will continue to not care and make mediocre or poorly remade games because they know that "The modding community will fix it on their own accord for free" and continue to be as lazy if not more so as a result.
